2009 Annual Conference:
Decodings

The 2009 annual conference will take place in Atlanta, November 5 through
8. The program will be held at two venues: the conference hotel, Midtown
Hotel in Atlanta, for sessions; and the Georgia Tech Global Learning and
Conference Center (GLCC) for the plenary event.

The conference theme is "decodings," with all its possible referents, including:
Do we decode nature, or are natural processes already full of encoding/decoding
mechanisms along the lines of DNA? Is a digital representation a decoding
of analog nature, or must we decode the digital to understand what is lost in
quantizing natural continua?
